Bitcoin ETFs Notch $433M Friday Inflow as Ether Funds Break Streak

What happened: For the week ending September 18, Bitcoin spot ETFs posted a slim net inflow of $6.2 million, with a standout $433 million inflow on Friday—driven by Fidelity's FBTC ($310.7M) and BlackRock's IBIT ($108.4M). This Friday surge offset large outflows earlier in the week, including a $450.3 million withdrawal on Tuesday. In contrast, Ether spot ETFs saw a $140 million net outflow, ending a four-week streak that had brought in $1.94 billion.

Why it matters: The ETF flow data highlights fragile investor sentiment: while Friday's inflow was the largest in over two weeks, the overall weekly gain for Bitcoin ETFs was razor-thin and dependent on a single day's activity. Ether ETFs' reversal, despite a strong Friday, suggests that earlier outflows were decisive. Year-to-date, Bitcoin ETFs are down $1.45 billion, while Ether ETFs remain positive at $922 million. These flows are closely watched as signals of institutional appetite and risk tolerance in the digital asset sector.
